Today, the Left Party’s economic policy spokesperson Ulla Andersson presents the party’s autumn budget motion. Among other things, more money is proposed for school, care and nursing.
It is already known that the party wants to invest almost SEK 40 billion more than the government in various support for the municipalities’ activities in 2021.
The investments will be financed primarily through tax increases and by saying no to the government’s proposed tax cuts.
In the Riksdag’s budget debate this autumn, the Left Party hopes, together with other opposition parties, to be able to stop the government’s proposal for reduced employer contributions for young people.
The nine billion kronor you would then get rid of, V wants to use to strengthen welfare in the municipalities.
